There’s a theory running around the fandom that Emma will kill Ruby because: “Emma is going to do something particularly bad,” co-creator Eddy Kitsis assures, “and to the people she loves.” Murdering a townsperson and her mother’s best friend would qualify. I don’t really believe it myself, but it’s something to keep in mind.
I would be severely stunned if they had the nerve to actually do this. Bringing back a beloved character, just to kill her. After Neal, who was also very loved. I’d like to think they have learned from their mistakes.
Until you mentioned this option, I didn’t think there would be anything left they could do to piss me off, but THAT would do it.
I just hope she has an adventure with Belle and Merida. It’s just such a perfect fit.

Eddy actually let it slip that apparently Merida and Red will interact, way back at SDCC:
“You don’t bring Merida on and not let her shoot her weapon,” co-creator Edward Kitsis said, “Merida really fits in. You see her with Snow, you see her with Ruby, you see her with anyone.”

That makes me happy and nervous all at the same time.
We know Emma does something *bad* that turns her into the DO fully and seems to happen while in the EF/Camelot. We know that Belle and Merida are going on their own adventure to cure/revive/whatever Rumple. If Ruby is interacting with Merida then that means in the EF and not SB, which means it’s when Emma is still transitioning.
Okay, I really don’t think they’d bring back Ruby and give her a story with Merida and Belle only to have Emma kill her (for some inexplicable reason) just to give Emma the big heave-ho into darkness, but like I said…nervous all at the same time.

Yes and back then I didn’t really want to get my hopes up in case he was trolling again.
Merida also ends up in SB at some point right, so they could share scenes in both worlds. When I try to envision a situation in which Emma kills Ruby, well that just seems like something the audience wouldn’t easily forgive. It would paint Emma in a very dark light (yes that’s the point I know, but) I think it would wreck her character. Ruby is loved and well known and a friend of her mother. It would be very difficult to come back from that. Even if she turns good again and characters forgive her and move on, the audience probably won’t. Which would be bad, because Emma is supposed to be hope and saviour and light and stuff.

I have a feeling that Emma’s transitioning into the Dark One will be shown in episode 505, “Dreamcatcher.” New writer Brigitte Hales has referred to it as “a heartbreaker”, Adam and Eddy are writing it, and it’s been said that it is an Emma centric.
As for the Emma killing Ruby theory, I’m just trying to fathom why Emma would hypothetically kill her. The last time Emma killed someone, it was when Cruella was threatening Henry’s life. What reason would Emma have for killing Ruby, even as the Dark One? Whenever Rumple killed, it was either being overprotective of Baelfire, some personal vendetta, or for personal gain. That’s why I don’t quite buy this particular theory, but I admit at the same time, I can’t totally ignore it as a possibility. These are the same writers who thought the Zelena pregnancy thing was good shock value material.

Agreed with that, I think Emma manages to fight it off (in flashbacks) fro 502-504, but then 505 is when we see her do *the thing* that is apparently super bad and makes her go all white haired, black leather clad.

That’s also the part I am struggling with. It would feel random for Emma, even as the Dark One, to kill Ruby since Ruby is not a threat to Henry (if we’re paralleling Rumple/Bae with Emma/Henry) or a threat to Emma herself, unless the writers are planning on character assassinating Ruby or something.

Megan has been filming a movie for the past 5 weeks i think, so if something happened to ruby has to be on the 501 and 502, bc after she is filming a christmas movie.

Except that doesn’t matter at all, as evidenced by her parts being re-filmed during 312 in the past. She wasn’t part of 312 when the entire group shot originally, but they went back later for her. Actors and actresses film stuff for earlier episodes after the rest of the cast has wrapped all the time. Her participation in another film doesn’t really matter since there are ways around it.
Also, they can very easily allude to what Emma did/show it (via dreamcatcher) without showing Ruby herself. They like mysteries and having the audience know that Emma killed someone without revealing who just quite yet would totally be in the wheelhouse of OUAT.
So, the possibility is still very real, even if it doesn’t make sense.

Maybe it has something to do with Ruby’s wolf? If some magic user is able to manipulate Ruby’s wolf into doing something like…attack Henry that might push Emma into killing her. Non-Dark One Emma might try to find a way around such a thing.
Ruby is loved and well known and a friend of her mother. It would be very difficult to come back from that. Even if she turns good again and characters forgive her and move on, the audience probably won’t. Which would be bad, because Emma is supposed to be hope and saviour and light and stuff.
I mean, really, the fallout from such a thing should be huge. Snow would have to deal with the fact that her daughter killed someone who had been almost like a sister to her. And given the standings that both Emma and Granny have in SB society, there should be a major upset and rift in the town for a good long while. Only anti-Emma folks would be able to frequent the Diner (the social hub of the town) from now on. All that kinda stuff.
But considering this show isn’t great at showing believable ramifications for things, they’d probably have everyone being, “LOLz bygones”. So even though I think it’s highly unlikely that they’d have Emma kill Red because it’d be too much to come back from, I can’t discard the possibility completely, because this show, these writers. *sigh*
Sidenote: After reading about Red’s return yesterday, last night I ended up falling into a pit of Frankenwolf gifs and fanvids, and it broke my soul a little bit because of the wasted opportunity of it all. *sigh*
